Yes, sucker is a migratory carp, they are a kinda that doesn't have mudvaynes throughout their body. I dont know if it is a regional thing or what, but when the steelhead start running, so do the suckers!!!!

This isn't a snipe hunt. I plan on filling my freezer with smoked fish, and canning some. When you're done canning, it sort of tastes like tuna fish.
